Big Adventure #2...

We left Las Vegas and headed to
Panguitch, UT. to see the grave of
Alva's grandparents on his mothers side.
He had this stone engraved several years
ago and took it up there to the previously
unmarked graves...kinda cool.
We were headed down the road and
Hoke spotted these old run down houses,
and casually mentioned that he always
wanted to go rummaging thru places like
that, and little 83 year old Lavina says
"lets do it!" ... so he hit the brakes and we
left Grandpa in the car and...
                                      
                                         

...here we go!

                                       
This piece of Deseret News from SLC
was behind some wallboard,
you can't see it very good but
the date on it is June 22, 1939!
                                           
As you can see I wasn't very well prepared
to go "tip toe-ing thru the tulips"
(note the blood on my leg!)
                                                  
but it was all worth it!
